Commission on women's affairs created in Chechnya
The commission on women's, family and youth affairs has been created under the State Council of the Chechen Republic. The well-known teacher Napsat Yusupova is at the head of it. Participants in the Forum of Chechen Women that took place in Grozny in September 2003 found the creation of such a commission to be necessary. Many of women who participated in the forum complained about the state officials' indifference to their serious problems.
